Current ranking
Top employment magnets
Statewide rankings are generated from the complete governed Texas workforce-mobility export.
Ranking interpretation
Each ranking answers a different Texas question.
Workforce exporters
Largest negative balances: communities whose resident-worker base exceeds the jobs located locally.
Employment gravity
Highest jobs-to-resident-worker ratios. Minimum-job filters are essential when resident counts are very small.
Self-contained economies
Largest share of residents whose primary workplace is also in the same ZIP.
Commuter dependence
Largest inbound share of workplace primary jobs, showing reliance on workers from outside.
Emerging daytime economies
A future historical ranking will compare multiple LODES years to identify ZIPs gaining or losing employment gravity.
